Max's place is just as advertised. The walk to the transit stop was about 10 min for us in our late 60's. If your younger should be no problem. We found the water taxi to be the easiest way to get anywhere. The condo is quiet at night so if you like to sleep you won't be bothered by the noise from soi 11. Max is an excellent host, and even met us at 2am to get us settled in. We are going to stay there again we we go back to Bangkok.
